The quiz thingy Counted 'Kosovo' as an independant country. How many of you got that one?I would've thought most people would've got Kosovo as they gained independance pretty recently and it was in the news alor.

Zaire rolls off the tongue better than Democratic Republic of Congo, though.:pDid you know there's also a Republic of Congo? A bit off topic here, but I've found that countries that have less emphasis on democracy in their names tend to be more democratic. China and Korea are two good examples. I wonder if this applies to Congo too :p

According to the Economic Freedom Index, it does. The Democratic Republic of Congo is at 173 and the Republic of Congo is at 166 out of 179 countries. Maybe they think the name will somehow be beneficial.:p

Ironically, nations with "people's" in their names are often very undemocratic.

"People's Republic of China" is not really an irony. Communism is not suposed to be a democracy. By naming a country like that they're not trying to sound democratic, remember that communism is suposedly achieved by a system where the proletariat controls everything (a dictatorship of the people).

Not that I would expect you to take anything I say seriously but just felt like pointing it out. :pi:

The first time around I got 95 (for some reason I forgot all about Ireland and Cuba). Second time I got 108 the second time, that time I missed Austria, Switzerland, Paraguay, Indonesia, Thailand, Uruguay, Colombia, Nigeria, Kenya, and Ukraine among a lot of others.

Heh.

I found myself remembering obscure country names, and forgot more commonly recognised names like Denmark, and the Netherlands.

Strange, since the princess of Denmark is actually Aussie and I forgot all about it! Whoops!
